"In the Volstov capital of Thremedon, Owen Adamo, the hard-as-nails ex–Chief Sergeant of the Dragon Corps, learns that Volstov's ruler, the Esar, has been secretly pursuing the possibility of resurrecting magically powered sentient robot dragons--even at the risk of igniting another war. That Adamo will not allow. Though he is not without friends--Royston, a powerful magician, and Balfour, a former corpsman--there is only so much Adamo and his allies can do. Adamo has been put out to pasture, given a professorship at the University. Royston, already exiled once, dares not risk the Esar's wrath a second time. And Balfour, who lost both hands in the climactic battle of the war, is now a diplomat who spends most of his time trying to master his new hands--metal replacements that operate on the same magical principles as the dragons and have earned him an assortment of nicknames of which 'Steelhands' is the least offensive."--Publisher.
